Ingredients You’ll Need
- ¼ cup (25g) almond flour (or coconut flour for a nut-free option)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg (or flax egg for a vegan option: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water, mixed and set for 5 minutes)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tbsp water or milk (adjust for coconut flour—use 2 tbsp liquid if using coconut flour)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1 tsp herbs (rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder)
- 1 tbsp seeds (chia, flax, or sesame)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
- In a microwave-safe jar or mug, combine the almond flour (or coconut flour), baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Crack in the egg and add the olive oil (or melted butter) and water (or milk). Mix well until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- If using optional add-ins like herbs or seeds, stir them into the batter now for extra flavor and texture.
Step 2: Adjust Consistency
- If using almond flour , the batter should be thick but spreadable. If using coconut flour , the batter will be thicker due to its absorbency—add an extra tablespoon of water or milk if needed to achieve a dough-like consistency.
Step 3: Microwave
- Smooth the batter into the jar or mug, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds (adjust time slightly based on your microwave’s power). The bread will rise slightly and become firm.
Step 4: Cool and Enjoy
- Let the bread cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing or removing it from the jar.
- Slice it in half for a mini sandwich, toast it for extra crunch, or enjoy it as-is with your favorite toppings like avocado, butter, or nut butter.
Pro Tips
- Flour Substitutions: Almond flour and coconut flour behave differently, so adjust liquids accordingly. Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so you may need extra liquid.
- Toppings Galore: Spread with butter, cream cheese, jam, or avocado. Or use it as a base for a mini open-faced sandwich.
- Make It Sweet: Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for a sweet version, perfect with almond butter and honey.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days . Reheat briefly in the microwave or toaster.
